MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used inyour microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does
not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled
"suitable for microwaving. "
Ifyou are not sure ifa dish is microwave-
safe, use this test: Place in the oven both
the dish you are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water
set the measuring cup either in or next to
the dish. Mioowave 1nfinute at high.
If the dish heats, it should not be used
fbr microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water
in the cup heats, then the dish ismicrowave-
safe.
If you use a meat thermometer while

microwave ovens.
Do not use recycled paper producls.
Re(%:led paper towels, napMns and waxed
paper can contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or i_fim. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon filamenLs should
be avoided, as they may also ignite.
Some st}_ofbam trays (like fl_ose that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. "_qmn

of the oven or i_im a paper rowel.
Not all plastic _ap issuitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic
_Tap can be used to cover dishes in order
to retain moisture and prevent spattering.
Be sure to vent plastic _Tap so steam
can escape.
Oversized fi.)od or oversized metal
cookware should not be used in a

handle the cookware.
"Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst during or
immediately after cooling, possibly
resulting in inju U. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially
uncove,ed because they fbnn a tight seal.
_qmn cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic x.nap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam
away fiom hm_ds and face.

ARCING
Ifyou see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem,
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by."
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
Foil not molded to tbod (upulmed edges
act like antennas).
Metal, such as lwist-ties, poulu 7 pins, or
gold-_immed dishes, in the microwave.
Recycled paper rowels containing small
metal pieces being used in/he microwave.
SUPERHEATEDWATER
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.
They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.
Super heated liquid will bubble up out of the
cup when it is moved or when something like
a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this flom happening and causing
iI_juU, do not heat any liquid tot inore than 2
minutes per olp.
After heating, let the cup stand in the
inicrowave R_r30seconds before moving it or
putting anylhing into it.
Spontaneous boiling
Under certain special circumstances, liquids
may start to bo# during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven.
To prevent bums floin splashing liquid, we
recommend the %llowing be%re removing
the container flom the oven:
:Allow the container to stand in the oven f()i
,%0to 40 seconds after dm oven has shut off.
Do not boil liquids in nature--necked
containers such as soft drink botdes, wine
flasks and especially narro_._mecked coffee

Adjustthe lower oven thermostat--Do ityourse/f!
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

Thetype of margarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). Ifyou
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require pro&lcts labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. I_owiilt spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less tilt and m_re water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best resuhs _dth your old iilvorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads ( ontaining at least
70% vegetable oil.
